Railings Services

Railings have a multitude of uses, from providing a safety barrier on raised balconies and decks, to more decorative uses on terraces, decks and pathways. Wherever they are, and whatever material they are made from, railings need to be maintained both for safety reasons and for decorative and protective reasons.

Obviously certain materials, as we have discussed in other articles, need more maintenance than others. Wood needs painting or protecting almost every year depending on your location and climate, whilst steel railings can also need regular painting or coating to protect against rust and corrosion. Materials such as aluminium are much more durable and less corrosive, but any of these materials still need to be checked regularly for structural issues, loose fittings or rusting or rotting decks or mounting surfaces.

Typically, railings on steps or stairs are fixed by the use of bolts through the stair structure itself and these need to be checked regularly to ensure there is no loosening of the nuts and bolts. Railings on a high balcony or floor with open full length doors are particularly important as a malfunction here could be fatal.

There are many types of maintenance-free Aluminum Railing and Deck Systems available for Canada and the United States, and these include maintenance-free aluminum railing systems for decks and stairs, fencing, handrails and pool surrounds. Custom fabrication is also available and is normally engineered to systems that meet the UBC and BOCA requirements for spacing and loading. This is very important in terms of safety.

The choice available for railings is quite diverse and includes standard glass railings, topless glass railings, conventional railings and picket railings which are normally made from powder coated aluminum and offered in many different colors.
